America, at No. 6, isn't currently doing great at the Winter Olympics

In the last four Winter Olympics, Team USA was either first or second in terms of medals won, but this year "the U.S. is struggling to keep up in the medal race," John Dickerson noted at CBS This Morning on Monday. The U.S. is currently No. 6 in total medals, with 10 medals, one behind the Russians — who are competing without some of their star athletes and without a country, due to doping-related bans.

Norway is cleaning up, with 28 medals, including 11 golds, followed by Germany and Canada.

If the U.S. wants to live up to its computer-predicted glory, it has a week left.
